DANIEL SHEWFELT (DAN)
Date of Passing: Jan 13, 2019
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryDANIEL (DAN) SHEWFELT The saddest moment is when those who gave you the very best memories, become a memory. It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Daniel (Dan) Shewfelt on Sunday, January 13, 2019. His contributions to both the welding community and industry were significant and contributed to the rapid growth of his company AXIS Inspection Group, who he shared with his wife Bonnie Pankratz. As a loving and dedicated husband, father, stepfather, brother, son, colleague and friend, Dan worked on several of Manitoba's largest construction projects, where he was both sought after and trusted by many to inspect and oversee many high-profile builds and rebuilds. He is survived by not only his life's work, but by his life's loves - namely his wife Bonnie, his sons, Ryan and Nicholas, stepson Cole, his brother Austin (Jenny), close friends, Scott (Susan) and Gregg (Marty) and countless others including his parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, extended family, friends and industry colleagues. His legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of those who knew him best. Please join us for a celebration of Dan's life on Friday, January 18 at 1:00 p.m. at the Manitoba Masonic Centre in Winnipeg. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that people make donations to Mood Disorders of Manitoba in Dan's name, in order to provide continued help, hope and recovery to those suffering from mental illness. God speed, Dan.

Not a day goes by that I do not think of Dan and his boys. He was my baby brother. I loved him dearly although life circumstances drew us apart. He had such an incredible gift of being able to see how things fit together... it always left me in awe how he could look at something and know how to take it apart and put it back together. His deep love for his sons was simple to see in every share he made, every picture taken of them together, I miss my brother as he was and in all he could have been. 😘 Dan the Man - Posted by: Paulette (Sister) on: Apr 17, 2021

I have just found out, and has hit me like a brick, Daniel was a kind person I will never forget his laugh and how Dan and Austin were always horsing around. Time goes by and everyone grows up and travels in different directions some to be not seen again. RIP Dan, you are missed. My condolences to his family... - Posted by: Jen (old friend ) on: Feb 01, 2021

A day has not gone by that I do not think of my little brother. I miss the love and laughter he brought with him. Dan's "Hello Sis, how's it going" is so missed. I am so looking forward to having you in my life again when sickness, pain, and sorrow will be a thing of the past. Ryan and Nick may you find peace and comfort in knowing this separation is for a short time.

Just heard this tragic news!!! I have many childhood memories of the family and Dan as a young boy. Although through the years many grow up and paths don’t cross again I’d like to send my condolences and that today has brought some memories of the kids that grew up together. You're remembered Dan, and I stopped and had a moment of silence in honor of you and all you’ve left behind. - Posted by: Tricia (Childhood memory ) on: Jan 17, 2019

I offer my sincere condolences to the entire Shewfelt family at this time. No parent should suffer the loss of a child and no siblings should suffer a loss of someone who was there with them since the beginning. Some sisters and brothers or brothers and brothers share a special bond and at this time I know that Austin is feeling this loss very greatly. My thoughts are with you & Jenny, and also with your family through this extremely tough time. Remember the good, the fun, the love - time is a great healer, draw on friends and family for strength to get though this one day at a time. - Posted by: Cindy Drul (Friend) on: Jan 17, 2019

I knew Dan as a much younger man, when I was a much younger woman, and I can remember how much life and love this guy was able to bring into a room. Fun, vibrant, full of life, entertaining, smart - he was a truly memorable and remarkable man. So saddened to see the weight of the world crush that spirit. I hope you have peace now, Dan. Thoughts and prayers are with Dan's wife and sons. - Posted by: Melinda Moch (Former Friend) on: Jan 17, 2019

My deepest and truly heartfelt sympathy for all the Shewfelt family, Bonnie & Cole and very specially, my grandsons. You are in my heart, thoughts and prayers. Though we knew Dan best as a young husband and father, we came to know him better more recently as a more mature family man and to appreciate his qualities and what he meant to his boys. He will most certainly be missed. - Posted by: Connie Maes (Friend) on: Jan 16, 2019

Words cannot express what a wonderful, loving and kind man Dan was especially to those who were important to him...He always put others ahead of himself. He always smiled and cracked jokes even when inside he was struggling. He and his brother Austin were one and the same, like peas in a pod. His passing is a tremendous loss!!! He was not only a husband and father, but a son, a brother, an uncle and a great friend.. He will truly be missed!! - Posted by: Jenny Shewfelt (family member) on: Jan 16, 2019
